Fierce Fairytales & Other Stories to Stir Your Soul

Feminist Fairytales for Young and Old

Reimagining traditional tales, this empowering collection of stories, poems and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover.

Gone are the gender stereotypes of obliging lovers, violent men and girls that need rescuing. Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains and you'll meet brave princesses, a new kind of wolf lurking in the concrete jungle and a courageous Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own.

'Await no princes to save youthrough their lips touching yourswhilst you are in unwilling slumber.Wake each other up instead.'
